Mackerel is a high-value seafood, favored by the market. However, it is also a difficult species to catch and requires boats to operate in distant seas such as the Hoang Sa, Truong Sa, and Bac Bo Gulf fishing grounds. Every time the boat returns to port, mackerel is always a sought-after commodity by traders. Photo courtesy

Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh, a resident who grills mackerel in Nghi Hai ward, Vinh city, said: The grilling process is very important and requires the griller to have experience. The grill is about 10-15 cm from the coal, not too close because it is easy to burn. Normally, each batch of fish is grilled for 5-10 minutes, depending on the density of the fish spread thick or thin. Photo: QA
